DRAWER-PULL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,251, dated November 27,1883. Application filed September 24, 1883. (No model.)

Fig. 3, a vertical central section; Fig. 4, the

parts of the handle detached.

This invention relates to an improvement in that class of drawer-pulls in which a handle is hinged to a socket, so as to turn down and in its normal conditionhang vertically, but so that when inuse the pull or handle is turned upward into a horizontal plane, and particularly to that class which are ""niade 'from "sheet metal, the object of the invention being to simplify the construction of the pull; and it consists in the construction, as hereinafter described, and more particularly recited in the claim.

A represents the rose, which is applied directly to the drawer-front, and may be of any desirable pattern, B, the socket; C, the screw; D, the bar of the handle, E, the shank which is hinged in the socket.

The handle D is a horizontal bar, made from tubing, closed at each end, as indicated in broken lines, Fig. 1. E is the shank, made from tubing, its lower portion of a diameter corresponding substantially to the diameter of the bar D, and so as to set upon and t the surface of the bar D, as seen in Figs. 3 and 4. The upper end of the shank E is constructed to enter the recess in the outer end of the socket, and through that end of the shank, and diametrically through` the socket,the pintle f is introduced, in the usual manner for hinging drawer-pulls to the socket. The bar is secured to the shank bya headed screw, I, passed diametrically through the bar, holes h, Inade therein for that purpose, and screwed intothe upper end of the socket, that end of the socket being tapped for the purpose, as at i. The bar is set in position against the lower end of the shank, then the screw introduced and turned to bring its head hard against the under side of the bar, as seen in Fig. 3. This construction gives to the pull the appearance oi a ne cast-metal T-shaped handle, and at a comparatively small cost, for the reason that the cast-metal T-shaped pull is necessarily finished by mechanical operations which arel in themselves expensive, whereas by making thebar arid socket from sheet metal drawn to shape the surface is nished without such eX- pensive mechanical operations.

The screw or shank C, it will be understood, is Iliade niale or female, according to the character of the fastening, in the usual manner for the shank or screw of drawer-pulls.

I claim- A y In a drawer-pull, the combination of a tubular bar, D, the shank E, one end fitted to the surface of the bar, the other constructed for attachment to the socket, and the screw I through said bar into the socket, substantially as described. t
